Pirates signed LHP Charlie Leesman to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Leesman made one appearance with the White Sox in 2014 but spent almost all of the season at Triple-A, holding a 4.10 ERA with 66 strikeouts over 68 innings. He'll likely be part of the Triple-A rotation. Jan 9 - 2:42 PM

White Sox released LHP Charlie Leesman.

He cleared waivers after being designated for assignment, but the White Sox just decided to cut him loose. Leesman owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 66/32 K/BB ratio over 68 innings at Triple-A Charlotte this season. With just a couple weeks left in the minor league season, he might opt to just wait until the offseason to sign somewhere. Fri, Aug 22, 2014 08:29:00 AM

White Sox designated LHP Charlie Leesman for assignment.

The move was made to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Avisail Garcia who returned from the disabled list on Saturday. The 27-year-old southpaw owns a 4.10 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 66/32 K/BB ratio over 68 innings at Triple-A Charlotte this season. Sat, Aug 16, 2014 03:33:00 PM

White Sox optioned LHP Charlie Leesman to Triple-A Charlotte.

Leesman was called up to start on Tuesday, allowing six run over 2 2/3 innings in a loss to the Tigers. He was scheduled for another start on Sunday, so it's unclear how the Sox rotation will shake out. Leesman was optioned to make room for Gordon Beckham on the active roster.

Charlie Morton (hip) continued to express optimism Friday on his ability to be ready for the start of the regular season.

The veteran right-hander is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right hip. While the Pirates are playing things cautiously, he's on track and should be ready to take his first turn through the Pirates rotation once the season begins. He posted a 3.72 ERA and 126/57 K/BB ratio over 157 1/3 innings for the Buccos in 2014.

Jameson Taillon (elbow) is scheduled to begin facing live hitters next month.

The 23-year-old right-hander has already been throwing on a mound in bullpen sessions as he recovers from Tommy John surgery that he underwent last April. As long as he avoids any setbacks, he could be ready for minor league game action in May. Fantasy owners in re-draft leagues shouldn't expect much out of him this season.
